BEST AND WORST BUYS OF 2012

Very soon 2012 will depart to join the past.Well,honestly,I didn't even notice how fast time passed until today.Anyways,this year my hobby of buying and trying makeup became a passion.I tried a lot of things,some I liked,some I didn't but,there were a few prized products which I loved and would keep on buying.

As the last post of this year I give you the best and worst buys of 2012.

BEST SKIN AND HAIR CARE PRODUCTS

A great face wash for oily skin. Thoroughly cleanses and keeps acne and breakouts away.PKR550

My HG cleansing milk.Great for oily and combination skin.Even people with dry skin can use it in summers.Leaves skin clean,soft moisturized.Very gentle. PKR 195 -small size.

3)-Nivea Night Whitening Body Lotion:

A great mild body lotion with whitening effect to keep your hands and feet smooth and fair.It may not be suitable for winters,as it is not highly moisturizing.However, in summers when you want to remove those unsightly tan spots from your feet,this baby is the solution. PKR290

My love and favorite body care products.The natural,refreshing fragrance takes me to another world and gives an amazing shower experience.

6)-Ponds Cold Cream-the cool classic:

In winters,when nothing else abates dryness try this tested-and-trusted-for-years cold cream.My mum recommends it and so does my beautician's beautiful Persian Aunt(who swears by it and has no wrinkle even in her sixties).

An almost smudge-proof soft eye pencil.Great one for oily lids.Great staying power.Price is PKR 375.

PKR 750. Best BB cream I have tried.People with Oily skin can use it too.Evens out skin while giving it the required moisture.

Ideal for lazy girls or those who hate too much makeup or don't want to wear lipsticks.This shade of lip butter gives lips a soft,moisturized look with a hint of pinkish red.Price PKR1000

WORST BUYS

Although I always do my research before spending money,but still there are somethings in my stash which I dislike very much.I bought most of these because of incomplete or biased reviews on some blogs :( .

It came in trial size bottle in BENEFIT-HOW TO LOOK FLAWLESS AT EVERYTHING(price PKR 3850).It is not for oily skin.Staying power is poor.It certainly doesn't live up to the high brand name of benefit.

PKR3300. This cleanser is for dry skin only.I was disappointed by its performance because its just another cleanser in the market,(no added features like soft skin or glow) for foolishly high price.It does make blackhead removal easy,I would give it that much.

A very bad scrub.No clarifying effect and no scrubbing action at all. PKR750.

Poor cleansing power.It leaves behind a very sticky residue PKR 315.

This nail polish takes ages to dry.In all the time it takes for drying up just imagine what horrors can happen to wet nail polish,(with kids running around too).Fifteen minutes is the time I noticed.Chips off at the first opportunity it gets.Price is PKR220.Sweet touch for PKR90 is far better than this one.

I bought it after reading words like oil,gloss,moisture, anti split ends...well I didn'tuse it enough times to see the truth,because it increased the frizz so much and dried my hair.Only ,Girls who use Herbal Essence can like this.PKR245

Awesome picks!!! <3 I've tried a few of them and I love em too. About the bad ones, I don't think every product works equally for everyone. There are things that work for someone with different skin type than ours or different climatic conditions so we can't really put the blame on anyone for this. :) xx

thank you Sara.You are right that the products I didn't like might work great for others.This is precisely the reason I call them worse BUYS and not worst products,you know like they wasted my money when they didn't work for "me".Also I have explained in a line or two that why I didn't like a particular product and who it can work for.Sorry the reply had to be so long but I had to make myself clear here :) Your comments on my post always make immensely happy so keep visiting <3

thank you for your kind words <3 <3.They mean more then you can imagine :) .I totally agree with you on the point that some products might get great reviews from one blogger,but may not necessarily work that great for the other one.

lovely picks.. do you know i was so motivated to buy foundation by benefit... but not now... everybody is showing the best thanks God someone showed worst things too...... or other wise I would have been victim of complex... lol.. do you know I owned two nail lacquers from Luscious and i didnot use it once... nice post >3

thankou marukh.I always wait for your lovely comments :) oxygen wow is not very long lasting you see.It can work for skin with no problems and stays dry in all seasons but even then I don't believe it has a good staying power.I am glad we agree on this
